As Avi pointed out, as we continue to massage the virtio PCI ABI, we can
make things a little more friendly to users by utilizing the PCI revision
field to indicate which version of the ABI we're using.  This is a hard ABI
version and incrementing it will cause the guest driver to break.

This is the necessary changes to virtio_pci to support this.

Applied, thanks.


But that's done at the wrong level. Anthony agreed the revision ID should indicate the device ABI, not just the virtio ABI. If we move to that level, bumping just one device rev id on the host will break all devices on the guest.
